I have delayed Acceleration prob!!
Hey guys I have a 99tl-p with about 118k km. I have several pressing issues I'm worked tirelessly over the spring and summer months to try and resolve. Here's just one of them......................
1, When I"m at a light and I depress the throttle (gas) my car really hussles really quick. I've beaten a couple of G's and BMW 3 series with the kind of punch that this baby has. However, say if I'm rolling at 40, 60, 100 km/h and I punch the gas there's a delay of about 1/2 to a full second before the VTEC kicks in then it really motors. Also I can hear the engine reving right before the VTEC kicks in. Its as if the engine wines up and then unloads. I've searched about the place to see if I could find anything info on delayed accelearation but nothing yet. I don't know if my throttle body needs to be looked at or is this the way the '99s are designed. Any and all help is welcome.
Thanks.

Did you get the transmission recall fixed yet? I was having the same problem with mine and took it to the dealership and they said it was the transmission. Since I bought my car used and it had over 100k on it, it was out of the recall range so they agreed to pay for half. I ended up shelling out $1500 to get it fixed, but that's better than $3000

I just haven't had no time to go up there and tell them about their mothers, unless they fix my car.
Is it really a tranny issue?????

I didn't think it was my tranny either because it worked fine when I used the slap-stick (or whatever you call it) but after I got it fixed and they sent me a new tranny, it's been perfect. I would write a letter to Acura or talk to the head of the service department to see if they will at least pay for half as they do for many of their customers.

Click the thread above and try this. It might help.
Hey ATLBlack99TL did you go to Sons Acura fromerly known as Baranco Acura? I know Sons did a shitty job on my tranny replacement less than 1500 miles on my new tranny and it's doing the same as before. Sorry to jack the thread man.

FamusFace, have you registered your vehicle at Acura.com, if not do so. Go to Acura.com, and at the bottom of the website, click ownership experience and then click owner link. This will allow you to register your vehicle. The site will also tell you about recalls on your vehicle and if your vehicle is under warranty. It's just a helpful site to be honest. I called Acuras Client Service in California and they told me my vehicle was not under warranty, but I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said it was under warranty. Fucking backwards.

well back to the original question, this is kind of a stretch, but here's my uneducated 19 year old guess (setting myself up for an escape if im wrong 
)
when you're sitting at the light, your car is in gear and it just shoots right away. when ur cruisin at 40 or 50, chances are your car is in 4th or 5th gear, where for optimal performance it should be in 2nd or 3rd. so when you floor it, the delay is from the car shifting into the right gear for the pull that you need, then it shoots.
try driving in sport shift and putting it in 3rd or so and floor it

gate shifting scares me because i jump gears very often and land in the wrong one
if that wasnt the problem, then good luck with whatever it is

I would say it's a tranny issue. I had a major lack of power and my vehicle would run like it's restricted. I got tha' issue fix and it was the tranny, she ran perfect for about a week. Quick acceleration and boi that Vtec sounded great. Well after the two weeks she had a relaspe and went back to slow gear engagement, sluggish, etc.... I took it to Sons Acura and they said they didn't feel a difference, the tech and the service manager drove my car. That was complete bull&**(. I had them document the problem in their database. I'm under warranty so I will continue to drive the shit out of the tranny until they fix it.

I really think this issue has alot to do with my torque converter. B/c is get alot od shutter when I either accelerated or come off the throttle. Is it passible to just replace the torque coverter b/c is was told that its locking up that's where the shutter is coming from.
my next issue is that when I put it is D3 instead of D4 then there's no delayed acceleration or torque lock up. I don't know if my D4 tranny is completely screwed.
Any advice????
